Albiorix (Gaulish deity)

Albiorix is a deity often associated with the god Mars.

Name

The origin of the name Albiorix is based on connection with the deity Mars, and as such the cult of this deity was known in the Haute-Provence and in the Alps.

Scholars disagree with this being an individual deity or one that has been connected with Mars through syncretism and interpretatio.

The name of one of the moons of Saturn was named after this deity.
